title: [A child with Klippel-Feil syndrome in whom GlideScope was effective for tracheal intubation].
abstract: GlideScope videolaryngoscope (GlideScope, herein-after referred to as "GS", Verathon Medical, Bothell, WA, USA), with a high-resolution camera positioned on a blade, enables operators to confirm the position of the larynx and a tube through clear view, thereby conducting intubation safely in a patient whose neck is difficult to be bent back. As the blade is slim, GS is indicated for use in children whose oral cavity is narrow. We herein report safe and smooth intubation with GS in a child with Klippel-Feil syndrome in whom difficult intubation was predicted.
